Our preliminary Task

I really enjoyed filming this peice as i think our group works very well together and got the work done all though i do not think that this peice of work is our best and did not turn out how i thought it would although we got everything in it that we needed to i thought that we could of made a better story line or edited more into it for example speacial effects such as music although i am confident that our main peice of filming will be much better that this as we have lots more time to film and will do alot more takes on it also spend more time on editing !

genres of films we like and what we are going to doo

The type of genres we like are fantasy and horror we have had some ideas which are :

• girl running in a field towards the camera but cant see her face (Zoe)
• girl wakes up in bed we find out this is a dream for her (Ana)
• an artist is drawing the whole thing that is happening (Hannah)
• girl keeps popping up in the girls dream
• keep flashing back to Hannah drawing whats going on
• the girl from the dreams becomes real life we see her standing in the corner of the room while the other girl is asleep she wakes up and see the girl then think she is still in a dream but when she realises it is not she is very frightened
• end of film a suspense cut off

The place we are going to film at are my house for ease of everyone being able to be there as i live closest to school and the school fields as they are big and we need space for Zoe to run without her face being seen . But we will need to do the filming in the school fields during a media lesson or during one of our free so there will be no one else on them as this will mess the content of the field scene up. This scene is meant to be scary and frightening for the character so with out people in it it wont be scary it will just be like a play ground at school which isnt scary but can be classed as a happy place . We will add special effects to this scence to make it look misty and observe. The scence where hannah is drawing will be quick flashes of what she is drawing and of her doing it this with be sped up in editing this quick flashing will add suspence and tension to the short film as the audience will be wondering what she is doing. We will also have fast suspence beating music over the top of our filming which will then speed up over the more action parts of the film of the scarier parts of the film .......

prelimanary task

so today we edited our film and its all running smoothly now i would say we are ready to show it the editing software we used to edit is called adobe premiere i personally found the software easy to use the software is made espeacially for schools .

filming

Soo today we were meant to be editing our footage but we had techinal diffculties with the footage that was uploaded so we decided to do another lesson of filming which was sort of pointless as we later found the footage from before so we uploaded it on to oour computers and in a next lesson we will be editing we now have a lot of footage but the mis-en-scence will not match so we can either use the footage from preivous or our footage we filmed today ..
